Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Yunfan had killed three experts in a row, and all of them had been killed easily.
One had to know that this was a prodigy from the previous prodigy list. In terms of strength, he should be far above the prodigies of this year’s prodigy list. In the end, he was killed by Chu Yunfan with a punch and a sword. This was too terrifying, simply beyond everyone’s imagination.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Then, all of Zhenyuan was in an uproar. As the city lord of Zhenyuan, the stronger Chu Yunfan was, the safer they would be.
“Marquis Chu is getting stronger and stronger. It’s simply unfathomable!” “That’s right. He will have a place among the experts of the current era!”
“Marquis Chu is worthy of being a legendary expert. Not to mention his peers, even the prodigies of the previous generation were no match for him!”
While the people in the city were discussing, Chu Yunfan had already disappeared from where he was. In the next moment, he appeared in his residence. With a wave of his hand, a green life force surged out of his body and poured into You Chuyun. You Chuyun’s body, which had been seriously injured, recovered in an instant.
“Thank you, Marquis.” You Chuyun cupped his hands.
You Chuyun’s expression was a little gloomy. This battle had dealt him a huge blow. He had entered the Cosmos Stage and become a true disciple of the Flying Celestials. He thought that he was considered a master, but reality had slapped him hard.
In front of a true top-notch expert, his strength was not enough. Even by relying on the barrier set up by Chu Yunfan in the residence, he could not withstand a casual palm strike from Wang Xueyi. Even if they were important figures in the eyes of ordinary people and true disciples, in front of these prodigies, how different were they from ants by the roadside?
However, You Chuyun quickly adjusted his mentality because he knew about this situation. Moreover, he was already satisfied. If it weren’t for Chu Yunfan, his lifelong goal would only be to enter the Cosmos Stage and become a true disciple.
Chu Yunfan nodded and said, “Send someone to investigate the background and identity of these three people as soon as possible. Also, why did they suddenly come to our door?”
Chu Yunfan frowned slightly. He felt that this matter was not simple. After all, with the strength of these three people, they could be said to be the best in the world.
He had gotten a glimpse of their identities from the crowd’s discussions. Such people were so proud that it was not easy to get any one of them to take action, let alone three people at the same time. Moreover, three experts from different forces attacked at the same time. The matter was definitely not simple.
With Chu Yunfan’s order, You Chuyun came back with a piece of information not long after. Chu Yunfan was the Flying Celestials’ precious prodigy. At the same time, he was a marquis of the imperial court, so he could obtain the information support of two behemoths at the same time.
“Hmph, how dare you!” Chu Yunfan sneered at the slips of paper in his hand.
After combining the information from the Flying Celestials and Grand Xia’s Imperial Court, Chu Yunfan quickly figured out what secret was hidden behind this. Someone had offered a reward of one million high-grade spirit stones to Chu Yunfan. At the same time, there was a king-level martial arts or king-level divine ability reward.
No wonder even these three high and mighty former prodigy list experts could not help but make a move. Just this one million high-grade spirit stones alone was equivalent to one billion mid- grade spirit stones. The price itself was already ridiculously high. One had to know that all of Chu Yunfan’s assets added up to only five million high-grade spirit stones. Although most of it had been used by Chu Yunfan for cultivation, it was enough to show how shocking the price of millions of high- grade spirit stones was.
High- grade spirit stones were usually used by Arcanes. After reaching the Arcana Stage, they had a very high requirement for the concentration of spirit energy. Not to mention that the spirit energy in the world was mixed with a lot of impurities, even the mid-grade spirit stones that were pure enough for Creators would have too many impurities for Arcanes. They were of no value at all.
It wasn’t that it couldn’t be used, but it would take a lot of time to polish the impurities in it. The time it would take was still fine for one’s cultivation, but if it continued like this, the cultivation speed would be slowed down by more than ten times, or even dozens of times. This was simply unbearable for these top-notch experts. Therefore, high-grade spirit stones became the spirit stones used by these experts.
However, they were very expensive. Ordinary people could not afford to use it. Therefore, even though a million high-grade spirit stones might seem inconspicuous, it was actually an extremely shocking price. Although Chu Yunfan was ranked first on the prodigy list, even if someone offered a reward for killing an official of the imperial court, someone would dare to take action. Not to mention that there were king-level techniques and divine abilities to choose from.
Normally, this price was more than enough to buy his head. However, they still missed out. Chu Yunfan’s combat strength had entered the Arcana Stage.
Bounty for a peak Creator and an Arcane were two completely different things.
But so far, no one knew that Chu Yunfan had already entered the Arcana Stage. Only the three people who had fought with Chu Yunfan knew. However, they were already dead, so they didn’t have time to send out the news.
“Do you know out who is offering a reward for me?” Chu Yunfan asked.
You Chuyun shook his head. “The information I received from the imperial court and the sect is not enough to figure that out. I only know that someone
is offering a reward for you, but I don’t know who it is.”
‘Looks like I need my own intelligence network!’ Chu Yunfan thought to himself. He then said, “Start to set up a secret intelligence network. You can come to me for all the resources you need. You have set up the intelligence network as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will be too passive. In a situation like today, we don’t even know who the mastermind is.”
“Yes, Marquis.” You Chuyun nodded.
Only then did Chu Yunfan begin to check the recent intelligence gathered by You Chuyun. During the few months that he had been in seclusion, the situation in the world had changed again.
Among them, Tang Siyu’s breakthrough to the peak of the Creation Stage was the most popular news in the world recently. When the information on the prodigy list changed, the world was shocked.
“The current generation is going to have an ancient emperor!”
